[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 585170, member: 2315"] Glinda, First I would like to welcome you to the board. I am sorry that you are in this position, As a parent we only want the very best for our kids and when we see them taking a course of action that is self harming and potentially dangerous to others it is so hard to comprehend. It is a normal response to try to find fault within our prenting that is what society has taught us. But as you said, your other three children are doing fine. So there is your answer. It isn't your parenting it is something else. Whether it is a genetic predisposition to alcholism or not, your son must face the fact that he has an alcohol problem and work to get it under control. You as his mother and one prone to enabling behaviors, need to find ways to cope without enabling and also learn how to [U][B]not[/B][/U] let him run your life and control your happiness. It is hard. I am fully aware of that. You have come to a good place for understanding and support by joining this board. Getting help for yourself through education on substance abuse and co-dependancy will help you learn to maintain conditions and boundries. Maintaining those boundries will give you some sanity in an otherwise insane world of dealing with and living with an addicted loved one. You are not alone in this.
